Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, but have been into lucid dreaming for a couple of years and loving it!!

Recently, I attempted the WILD tech. around 5:20 AM. I don't believe I actually stayed up for 30-60 min but just enough time to turn off the alarm in my room and keep my eyes open. Then I tried to relax and instantly I was in this white spiral and felt like my body was flying. Then my eyes opened and I was floating around in a room that was completely empty and in black and white and eventually I gained control of actions and was able to enter a fully lucid dream. This was by far the most realistic lucid dream I have had but have not heard of people going from sp to the dream almost instantly. It was a lot of fun though, I guess you could say it was 20 years long because I watched a tree grow to full height within a couple minutes. I will try this again because no matter how obvious some dream signs are, it has been very difficult for me to identify. Has anyone here had an experience like this?
